The Edusave Character Award (ECHA) 2015 for our students is opened for nominations from now till 25 August 2015. ECHA is introduced by MOE to enable schools to recognise students who demonstrate exemplary character and outstanding qualities through their behaviour and actions. The award also supports the school’s efforts in nurturing students of good character and values, who are active contributors and concerned citizens: Youth of Character, Keen to Serve.

The objectives are as follows:

To send clear and strong signal of the importance that MOE places on character and values, on par with the achievements in the academic domain; and

To recognise outstanding students in each school who are exemplary in character, and who can be a role model to inspire others.

MOE will be travelling to the heartlands to bring you a showcase of 50 years of classroom memories. Re-live what it was like in school in the 60s and make new discoveries about school today through interactive displays, mini-games and artefacts from the past!

This would be a good opportunity for the young ones (and yourself!) to see first-hand what classrooms were like back in the 60s.

Also don’t forget to complete our activity card and receive a limited-edition good bag*.

And finally don’t forget to smile when you greet “Good Morning ‘Cher!”
